the central government is outnumbered and to go to the central government and say do something about this is unrealistic. >> tom, very quickly. >> if i could add one more comment. the other issue is even if the libyans say we're going to provide our best troops, our best police officers to come in and provide perimeter security, you don't know what kind of background checks or who they're loyal to. you could have a situation like in afghanistan, that people that we have been working with and training and side by side turned and fire on our people. so that's the dangerous aspect here. you can only have confidence if it's u.s. force protection but bringing that much equipment and even armor as bob mentioned is not feasible. >> given that mortars were involved you would have to have a pretty huge perimeter to be able to secure both sites. tom, appreciate your expertise. fran, as well. bob baer, thanks. join us on facebook, follow me on twitter right now. let us know what you think about this situation. >>> next, we will introduce you to the fine art of predebate trash talking. that's to
